Description of the problem	On 1/17/14,while driving my 2005 nissan pathfinder on a busy highway, the service engine light came on without warning and the vehicle immediately slowed to a crawl. I was able to pull off the road and avoid a serious accident. I live close by and was able to make it home. We took our vehicle to our dealer the next day. They told us they would look at our vehicle on monday. In four hrs., the svc. Rep. Called and said the radiator failed and damaged the transmission. They found a whining sound and said the timing chain needed to be replaced. The cost would be $3,200 for the transmission and $2,000 for the timing chain. Why did they rush to inspect the suv? We wonder if they jumped on the opportunity to make a large repair. Prior to this, we took our suv in for scheduled maint. In 8/13 at this dealer. We were told everything was fine and no repairs were needed. The mileage is now 82,300 miles, and we planned to keep it for many more years. We called the nissan hotline and spoke with the reg. Cust. Svc. Rep. She said there was nothing nissan would do and offered no assistance. We discovered that nissan was involved in a class action suit that was recently settled regarding the transmission problem. The nissan radiator/transmission cooler litigation, case no. 10-cv-07493. Why weren't we notified by nissan about this problem immediately? Per the suit, the cost for repairs over 80,000 miles is $2,500. If this problem was identified during our scheduled maint. We would have avoided all these problems and expenses. This makes us wonder if nissan and the dealer conspired to keep this info. Quiet until after the vehicle passed 80,000 miles. We also discovered a new class action suit filed on 6/26/13 involving the premature failing of the timing chain. We will pursue every opportunity to get reimbursed for these problems that nissan was aware of.
